Bonjour tout le monde et Bienvenue à mon site-web!

Hello everyone and welcome to my website!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

There will be a unit test/practice on Tuesday May 24, 2016 on measuring volume, capacity and mass as well as nets of 3-D shapes. A practice sheet containing 14 problem solving questions was provided to the students. We worked on a few in class. The students are encouraged to work on those questions at home to prepare themselves for the test. Please note that all questions will be from home that your child has brought home in the past few weeks!


We've started a new unit in math:
Geometry 2D, 3D Shapes and Location and Movement

Here is what the students will learn in this unit:


By the end of Grade 5, students will:

• identify and classify two-dimensional shapes by side and angle properties, and compare and sort three-dimensional figures;

• identify and construct nets of prisms and pyramids;

• identify and describe the location of an object, using the cardinal directions, and translate two-dimensional shapes.

Geometric Properties

By the end of Grade 5, students will:

– distinguish among polygons, regular polygons, and other two-dimensional shapes;

– distinguish among prisms, right prisms, pyramids, and other three-dimensional figures;

– identify and classify acute, right, obtuse, and straight angles;

– measure and construct angles up to 90º, using a protractor;

– identify triangles (i.e., acute, right, obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral), and classify them according to angle and side properties;

– construct triangles, using a variety of tools (e.g., protractor, compass, dynamic geometry software), given acute or right angles and side measurements (Sample problem: Use a protractor, ruler, and pencil to construct a scalene triangle with a 30° angle and a side measuring 12 cm.).

Geometric Relationships

By the end of Grade 5, students will:

– identify prisms and pyramids from their nets;

– construct nets of prisms and pyramids, using a variety of tools (e.g., grid paper, isometric dot paper, Polydrons, computer application).



Location and Movement

By the end of Grade 5, students will:

– locate an object using the cardinal directions (i.e., north, south, east, west) and a coordinate system (e.g., “If I walk 5 steps north and 3 steps east, I will arrive at the apple tree.”);

– compare grid systems commonly used on maps (i.e., the use of numbers and letters to identify an area; the use of a coordinate system based on the cardinal directions to describe a specific location);

– identify, perform, and describe translations, using a variety of tools (e.g., geoboard, dot paper, computer program);

– create and analyse designs by translating and/or reflecting a shape, or shapes, using a variety of tools (e.g., geoboard, grid paper, computer program) (Sample problem: Identify translations and/or reflections that map congruent shapes onto each other in a given design.).


Please note that homework in due every Friday. If Friday falls on Day 3, the due date for homework will be on the following Monday.
